Glacier Garden
No visitor to Lucerne should miss a visit to the Glacier Garden, which was discovered in 1872 near the Lion Monument.
Here, you will encounter lost worlds; there are few places on earth that portray the history of our planet so clearly.
The visitor embarks on a voyage of discovery from a subtropical palm beach that existed 20 million years ago to the glaciers of the last Ice Age 20'000 years ago.
The Glacier Garden also features some exclusive relief maps of the Alps and a model of the city of Lucerne dating from 1792.

This is also a lovely location to relax after exploring the Old Town - and to enjoy the gardens with their alpine plants and sun terrace. As a special treat, you can round off your visit by exploring the historical labyrinth of mirrors. You won't get lost, but will certainly come out with a smile on your face.
